The question of what processes can take place without conscious awareness has generated extensive research. Yet there is still no consensus regarding the extent and scope of unconscious processing, and past research abounds with conflicting results. A possible reason for this lack of consensus is the diversity of methods in the field, as the methodological choices might influence the results. Thus far, such possible influence of methods, measures, and analyses has not been systematically investigated and mapped. Here, we present the UnconTrust database for studies of unconscious processing focusing on two major domains - semantic and attentional processing. The database allows researchers to explore potential influences and obtain a bird's eye view on the field with respect to these domains. Currently, the database includes information about the methods and findings of 426 experiments (though notably, the data collected in these experiments is not included). The database is also presented as an interactive website.
关于哪些过程可以在没有意识觉知的情况下发生的问题引发了广泛的研究。然而，对于无意识加工的程度和范围仍然没有达成共识，而且过去的研究结果相互冲突。缺乏共识的一个可能原因是该领域方法的多样性，因为方法的选择可能会影响结果。到目前为止，方法、测量和分析的这种可能影响尚未得到系统的研究和梳理。在这里，我们展示了用于无意识加工研究的UnconTrust数据库，该数据库聚焦于两个主要领域——语义加工和注意加工。该数据库使研究人员能够探索潜在影响，并从宏观角度了解这些领域的研究情况。目前，该数据库包含了426个实验的方法和结果信息（不过值得注意的是，这些实验收集的数据并未包含在内）。该数据库也以交互式网站的形式呈现。
